Men Are Attracted To Gold
hogwrassler31 August 2021
Two white outlaws disguised as Paiute braves have been robbing the stages. The Ranger and Tonto investigate, but arrive too late to prevent the stage carrying Jim Blake and his life savings from being hijacked. The Ranger suspects Mason, the express agent, of tipping off the outlaws as to which stages to rob. The Ranger disguises himself as a Swedish prospector who has found gold as a trap to smoke out the bad guys. As he tells Tonto, "Men are attracted to gold as ants are to sugar." But will the villains fall into his trap?

Rex Lease has a small role as the sheriff. He accumulated 274 acting credits in his long career. In 1937, he played William Barrett Travis in "Heroes of the Alamo." Most of his roles were in westerns, and his career spanned from 1924-1960.

Warning: Spoilers
"Backtrail" (episode 72) was first aired on television January 25, 1951.

Anyway - As the story goes - Piute Indians are blamed for attacking and looting Walter Mason's express shipments, or so it seems.
